I'm currently residing in Brighton at BarCamp Brighton and it's absolutely fabulous. Yesterday I attended dconstruct where I enjoyed some extremely interesting talks by people such as Jared Spool, Cameron Moll, my collegue Tom Coates and several other excellent speakers.dconstruct was an excellent event!

The nice thing about it was the fact that it was not very development-centric. This year's edition was all about the user experience and everything related to designing it.

After a fairly beer-induced afterparty I moved on for the next Brighton based event: BarCamp Brighton from where I'm writing this very blog post. Interesting talks, nice new people to meet and an overall very nice event to attend. For those who have no idea what a barcamp is: check out the barcamp website and you'll get the idea. It's called an 'unconference' where a whole lot of geeks come together. The aim of the event is that everyone has to do a talk on a subject he/she knows a lot about it. Having written a lot about client-side performance optimisation lately I decided to distill a presentation out of this post. For those who are interested in my sheets, they can be downloaded here. I was quite honoured to have Tantek Çelik in my audience!

That's it for now. Back to BarCamp!
